Some people wanted to ask Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong for information, but when they saw that they were also confused, they knew that these two people knew something, but they were afraid that they were not much more than them.

Also, this person was sent by the Wei Guards in the past two days, and he had never known Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong in the past.

When he first came, he was arranged by them to be a miscellaneous soldier, and he didn't know what happened later, so the relationship grew by leaps and bounds.

"I guess it ran out of the world's highest?"

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone accepts apprentices, but the rules are very serious, how can you let the disciples wander outside as miscellaneous soldiers."

"But he doesn't look like a wild carpenter, I guess he must have been led by a master, maybe he didn't officially visit the beginning."

The other craftsmen were busy and chattering there.

And here, Mu Gaoyi wiped the sweat on his head with Shi Hetong, and also looked at people there and whispered.

"Hey, Hetong, we didn't guess wrong, she may not be a student of Jixia Academy, otherwise, at this age, how can she know so much woodwork."

"I think it's like, I heard that Jixia School only accepts students who are not from a simple background and have strong talents, but we were the losers in the first place and failed to get in."

Mu Gaoyi said that he was not too envious, and he smacked his mouth sourly: "Look at people, the future is bright at a young age, the designed car is simply wonderful, and I don't know how shocked it will be when it is finally made." ”

But Shi Hetong thought more about it than Mu Gaoyi, and he wondered: "But he is so selfless and selfless, let us all participate, and don't take his name yet, isn't he afraid that in the end, all the credit will be snatched away by others, and the design pattern will be impostored?" ”

"Does he need to be afraid?" Mu Gaoyi rolled his eyes: "Just ask, can you afford to offend those people behind him?" ”

They all thought that behind Ah Qing was Wei Yao, Runtu, or a certain master, but they couldn't guess that the man standing behind Zheng Quqi was Yu Wensheng who could subvert the entire Ye Guoquan political circle with one sentence.

But then again, who would have thought that.

"Okay, okay, in fact, we also understand this, if you want to say that he is powerful, he is indeed powerful, but there are many powerful craftsmen in these seven countries, so you don't have to stare at our achievements to dig."

"This?"

"Okay, it's huge, okay."

There were more than 30 of them, and they were busy for three days, not to mention day and night, but that was to the extent of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Only then did I finally get out the parts, panels, and corner interfaces of the car.

But the remaining time is still urgent, and not a minute or a second can be wasted.

Zheng Quqi saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Runtu for a tame horse, and planned to ride a horse to the Fuxian workshop.

Runtu escorted the whole process, and saw that the lady entered a blacksmith shop and greeted an old blacksmith with white eyebrows, and then the other party came out with a bag of sunken objects.

The old blacksmith looked to be quite old, but he had an inverted triangular body, and his arms were particularly muscular.

"This business can make the old man and his apprentices almost tired."

"Thank you for your hard work, things are doing very well, beyond my expectations, next time I have the opportunity to take care of Grandpa Tie's business."

"That's a good idea. However, I remember, it was a little girl who came to make the decision, right? ”

"Oh yes, she's my sister, doing things for me, I thought she couldn't move this goods, so I picked it up myself."

"That's it, okay, since you're satisfied, then the old man will rest assured, you these things, you are too particular about craftsmanship, and the pattern is something that the old man has never seen before, it's too painstaking."

"Once raw, twice cooked, next time Grandpa Tie will definitely be more exquisite, I'll put the mantissa here, then I still have something to do here, so I'll go first."

"Hey, young man, you've given too much money."

"Not much, the rest is the rush fee."

Zheng Quqi had a lot of strength, so he didn't need Runtu's help, he picked up the big bag and strode forward, and finally Runtu found a carriage to transport her back to the camp with her things.

In the carriage, she scrutinized the custom-made bronze parts again, with round and square corner decorations, reinforced trims, hooks for canopies, and other things.

These are all made by her drawing the figures, marking the size, and letting the blacksmith melt the copper and cast, and she especially explained that it must be old and make the kind with good texture, and she can't cut corners, but she can't make it heavy, after all, it's just an exterior decoration.

When the craftsman saw Ah Qing coming back with a large bag of things, he felt strange.

"Ah Qing, where did you go early in the morning?" Mu Gaoyi ran over, his eyes swirling over her bag.

"Go and be a coolie."

She put things on the ground in front of everyone, and immediately clattered, listening to the sound of some small piece of metal scraping against each other.

"What is this?"

"Let's see."

She took them apart, revealing what was inside, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this the decorative copper parts painted on the car?" You've already got them right, huh? ”

"Well, time is urgent, I asked a blacksmith to customize it earlier, I have checked all of these, there are no problems, and when it is assembled, we will follow the design drawings and nail it on."

"Okay, we're very motivated now."

"That's it!"

"Then let's assemble it next."

Everyone gathered around, because Zheng Quqi always thought of the front when doing things, plus she had worked hard in the past two days, but whenever someone fell into a bottleneck, she could step forward and push her, so they sometimes unconsciously asked her opinion.

Zheng Quqi said: "Well, I think it will take almost a whole day just to assemble and correct the parts." ”

"I just estimated, it's similar to your opinion, by the way, we still have to set aside the next day to test all aspects of the car, otherwise something went wrong, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?"

"Sure enough, the time is still too tight."

The assembly alone needs to be divided into three parts, first the assembly of parts, assembly off the shelf, then the overall assembly, and finally a variety of appearance modification, brush tung oil, etc.

In order to prolong the service life of the wood, the natural outer layer should still be brushed with a layer of paint, and after the paint is painted, it can be slightly air-dried, and the performance can also be tested, as long as you pay a little attention to it.

These are all time-consuming and labor-intensive work, because this part is not as many people as possible, but is done by the technicians assigned by Zheng Quqi at the beginning, and they have to adjust while installing.

In particular, the important parts must be stitched together in the same way according to the design drawings.

It is necessary to pour the mortise and tenon hole, reduce the tenon, rough grinding and finding the shape of the special-shaped parts, check whether the mortise and tenon joint is of the right size, whether it is tight, whether there is any skew or warping angle, etc.

Zheng Quqi didn't go to assemble and help this time, others thought she was unfamiliar with this division of labor, but in fact, she felt that she was busy with other important things.

That's it – engraving.

This art is the most aesthetic and handicraft, several carvers who are good at this area are working overtime, and others still have time to chat and chat, but they don't even have time to catch their breath, until Zheng Quqi joins them.

"Hey, look, that Ah Qing went to the carving group again."

"She wouldn't even do this, would she?"

“…… It's hard to say. ”

After a while, someone said indignantly: "Tell a fart, she really knows!" ”

Carving a line, which is more time-consuming than any process, do not brag to say, wood carving this thing to be finely carved, a hundred days can also be, a year is also completed.

But what they want to do is not the kind of craft ornaments that are so fine that they need to be carved for a year, nor are they taking a whole piece of wood to make a fine relief, but building materials.

To save time, it should be aesthetically pleasing, but it doesn't have to be too harsh.

The wood carvings designed by Zheng Quqi are arranged on the body in the form of buckles, which decorate the doors, windows and bare panels.

Of course, this is not only for the overall beauty of the model, but also to reduce the overall weight of the cabin, she used a combination of wood carved boards and solid wood boards on the doors, windows and car panels to reduce the pressure on the chassis.

The wood carving she designed is based on one of the ten most traditional auspicious patterns in China.

The lion rolls hydrangea.

The lion rolling hydrangea is a composition of two lions and a hydrangea.

Legend has it that the lion is the king of beasts, a symbol of power and majesty, and the ball made of textiles resembling hydrangea is regarded as an auspicious and festive object.

Originally, she wanted to design something more lofty, but she felt that it was too much, and it was so foreign that others couldn't understand it and had to bother to explain the content, so it was better to make something familiar to everyone on the body.

It can make people know what it means at a glance, and it is easier to achieve the effect of word of mouth.

Carving requires full attention, and Zheng Quqi sat for several hours, during which her eyes, hands, and mind were all on the wood.

Sweat trickled down from the corners of her forehead, and Zheng Quqi wiped it with her hand, but she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something sticky on the back of her hand, and she was stunned.

When I raised my hand, I saw that the thing on it was not exactly ...... It was over, her disguise was washed away by her sweat.

She immediately put down what she was doing and covered her face: "I, I'll go wash my face first, and you continue." ”

Seeing that she was leaving, they were not calm for a moment.

"Hey, hurry up, we don't have ten hands fast against you."

"Okay."

This kid is simply a treasure, the more you dig, the more you have.

Zheng Quqi covered his face and hurriedly ran towards Fu Rong, now only he has a way to fix it for her, but who would have thought that Fu Rong was not in the account at all.

The guards even rejected her idea of entering the crowd and stared suspiciously at her suspicious behavior.

Zheng Quqi touched her face, it was uneven, and there were a lot of pieces on the road, she didn't have to look in the mirror, she knew that her current appearance must be very scary.

Originally, I wanted to go back to the main army's tent to hide first, but I didn't see Runtu, and no one took her to get in with this "disfigured face".

There was no way, she was afraid that people would see her, she turned left and right, and hid in a place where no one was.

Here, it seems to be ...... Water dungeon?

She had a topographical map of the camp in her head, and after a little thought, she guessed where she had run to.

It is said to be a water prison, but after a winter's hard work, the water has been cut off, and there is only a dry riverbed in front of it, and there is a basement with stone stairs carved out behind the big stones.

She also knew exactly who was being held in the water prison now.

The question is, are people still in it?

She was just about to take a step, when a strong and cold figure appeared in front of Zheng Quqi, blocking it with one arm: "Madam, this is not the place where you should come." ”

Zheng Quqi was startled, and his hair was about to explode.

"I just strayed into ......"

Runtu nodded: "Of course, but if you take a few more steps, you will be shot as a suspicious character by the guards who are secretly ambushed in the water dungeon." ”

Zheng Quqi: "......"

It's too insidious, isn't it, to ambush a shady person in the shadows? Fortunately, she couldn't stand the test, she didn't want to go on an expedition just now, but planned to turn around and go back.

However, will this person make a small report behind her back?

"Don't tell the general about it, you know?" Zheng Quqi is terrible, Yu Wensheng's crazy criticism is nervous.

Before, I suspected that she teamed up with the Mo family, and almost didn't slap her palm into the cliff and smash it, but now if he knows, she almost ran to the water prison to "visit" the old man, and I don't know if he will go crazy again.

Runtu was silent, obviously for him, the general was the object of all his loyalty.

Zheng Quqi narrowed his eyes and threatened: "If you dare to say it, I will tell Yu Wensheng that it was you who didn't show up in time to stop me from breaking in, so I almost strayed into a dangerous place, do you guess he believes you or me?" ”

“…… Madame rest assured, Runtu will not say. ”

He seemed to have been a little blinded before, and the general's wife was probably not stupid and sweet, she was simply white-skinned and black-stuffed.

Zheng Quqi knew that if he didn't agree to this stuffy gourd, he wouldn't agree to it, and once he agreed, he wouldn't talk back.

Only then did she feel relieved.

"You're here just in time, look at my face, I need Fu Rong now, do you know where he went?" She lowered her hand and let Runtu look at her face.

To be honest, my face is a mess now, my facial features are messy, I look like a man and a woman, and it's weird and scary.

Madame's face...... Fu Rong went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, if his wife was in a hurry, Runtu could take his wife up the mountain to find him. ”

"Hurry up, I still have something to do, but I can't see people with my face now."

She waved her hand and motioned for him to lead the way.

But the soil remained in place.

"What's wrong?"

"Madame is going to go out like this?"

"What then?"

Runtu carried a person wrapped in his whole body, and performed light skills to leap in the jungle, he listened to the sound and identified the position, and traced all the way according to the footprints left behind.

Zheng Quqi opened the cloth towel on his eyes and watched many Yeguo soldiers passing by digging around the mountains and forests, looking for something to eat and digging wild vegetables.

She asked Runtu: "Are we running out of food?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the general will have a way."

"You see, along the way, almost all of these streams have dried up, and Fuxian has no longer been able to produce food, and everyone will be hungry in the future." She looked at the dried fish and the whitened stones on the riverbed, and she didn't feel good in her heart.

"The general will figure it out."

"But your general...... Someone also needs to share his worries, he is still in pain tomorrow morning, and he can't eat, and he has to leave for Jizhou in the afternoon, can you only rely on him to solve everything alone? ”

Although he is the patron saint in the minds of Ye Guo and Ye Jun, no one is iron-clad, in case his body collapses, will the rest of the people only have to be cold?
